Maybe a little....

I got minorly miffed when I saw a blogroll link here titled "Mauser is Lonely", but hey, at least I've been linked. But maybe it's a little true. It seems that virtually every single form of social media I have, dating back to LiveJournal, is extremely poorly trafficed. In some cases, like Facebook and Twitter, it's malicious interference by the bluehairs. On various alternate outlets it's because the audience is so small. On my Wordpress, it's because I set my goals for that so high, it's a long road to make a new post. Although thanks to Sarah, when I do make a post, I get an Instalanche.

I like anime, and I like to share. But it feels hard to share when nobody's talking. It would be great to get back to the days of 80 image episode-by-episode reviews of shows, and actual discussions about them, but I'm not feeling any interest.

Maybe ever since SdB died, the energy has been off in the old gang. And everyone is dealing with their own health/aging/moving trials. Damn, am I the only one who hasn't grown up yet? :-)

Maybe it's because I throw stuff at so many outlets, my efforts are too diluted.

Maybe I'm just shouting secrets into holes in the ground all over the internet.

(I make that reference a lot. When I was a kid I saw an animation on TV about the Russian folklore story of a barber to the Czar. Many barbers before him had gotten the axe, literally, for commenting that the Czar had the ears of a goat. He held his tongue, and kept his head. But the pressure to say something was relentless, so he dug a hole in the ground, shouted "The Czar has the ears of a goat!" into it, and filled it back in. In this telling, some reeds grow on that spot, and someone (the barber?) makes a flute of them, and the tune has the same cadence as "The Czar has the ears of a goat." The Czar is infuriated but can't prove anything.)

Too many shows....

Kono Healer Mendokusai - Something Kukuruyo said about it made me want to check it out.
Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu - I read a lot of the Manga. Oddly, I haven't really watched through the first season yet.
Spy x Family - The hit of the season for me. (Apparently you don't pronounce the X).
Koi wa Sekai Seifuku no Ato de - The Miss Kuroitsu of the season.
Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari - Haven't dug into it yet, but since the first season was so good, it's on the list.
Yuusha, Yamemasu - Only watched the first episode. I'm a bit afraid it will be Business Administration Lessons in fantasy trappings.
Shokei Shoujo no Virgin Road - Interesting concept at the start, made even more interesting by the possibilities raised by the girl's powers.

I've started making uTorrent categories for seasons instead of my previous system of labeling things Watching, Watched Current and Completed and other leftovers from previous attempts at categorizing things.
